Musings about some of my favorite fantasy literature for young readers, comics old and new, the peculiar publishing industry, the future of books, kids today, and the writing process.
Last night I went to my mom’s first recorder recital, and fell into this conversation with a stranger.Six-year-old there to hear his sister play: I know something you don’t know about elephants.
But I know when I’m licked.
Me: How do you know I’m not an expert on elephants?
Pause for thought.
Six-year-old: This is something you don't know about elephants.
